XPlaneROS is a ROS wrapper for the XPlane-11 flight
simulator. The wrapper provides functionality for extracting aircraft
data from the simulator and feeding control commands to control the
aircraft in the simulator.
The main advantage is due to the fact that XPlane is a realistic
simulator and thereby provides more realistic dynamics, responses and
images.
XPlaneROS interfaces with XPlane simulator using the XPlaneConnect plugin.
